Butter Rolls with Poppy Seeds

August 20, 2017August 20, 2017 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail from a lady who is married to an American with Slovak roots. She asked about a 'kiflick' cake she wanted to make, but couldn't find a recipe for. It sounded like it was an ancient recipe from her husband's aunt, which she had taken to the … Continue reading Butter Rolls with Poppy Seeds

Raw Poppyseed Avocado Cake

The end of May usually brings more sunshine, higher temperatures and a whole lot of outdoor activities. Whether it be walking tours organised by local … Continue reading Detvian Strudel

However controversial this ingredient can be in some parts of the world, poppy seeds are indispensable in Slovak cuisine, especially baking. Like our much bigger European neighbours, we use poppy seeds in some of our vintage recipes for sweet breads, hot desserts, cakes and various little bakes. I remember quite vividly the summers at my … Continue reading Ground Poppy Seed Rolls

Cookbook

'A Taste of Slovakia' is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes. It's a colourful journey into this small country's culture, the customs that evolve around cooking and eating, as well as history of some typical ingredients. And for those who will delve deeper into the text, there is an added bonus ...

Awards

A Taste of Slovakia has been named the winner of 2017 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards to represent Slovakia in the Eastern Europe Category. It will compete for The Best in the World Award in Yantai, China, later this year.
